Memory Function / Sensors / Auto Detection
Memory Function
When you stop operation and then restart, the purifier will resume the operation that was running before shutdown.
If you operate the Purifier for approximately 5 seconds or longer, the operation status will be stored in memory.
(If you stop operation before 5 seconds have elapsed, the operation status will not be stored in memory.)
Even if you unplug the power cord, the operation status will be stored in memory. However, the airflow rate is
automatically set to “Auto”.
Air Sensor
Level of air contamination detected by the odor sensor and dust sensor is shown by the way the indicator is activated.
Indicator action : Light up in green Blink in green
Contamination level: Clean Contaminated
Note
You can adjust the air sensor and dust sensor sensitivity setting as desired.
P.E-20
In case the purifier is installed in a location where air contamination is difficult to
detect or in case the sensor itself is not clean, the indicator action may not change.
P.E-29
Odor Sensor
The sensor detects odors in the air such as cigarette smoke or animal odors.
Even if you think the air is clean, the unit may continue the operation if the odor
sensor detects any gas component that has not been removed by the filter.
Any of the following may also be detected by the odor sensor.
Combustion gases from heating appliances, alcohol, odor of perfumes or cos-
metics used in beauty parlors or aesthetic salons, sprays, vapors, abrupt tem-
perature changes, etc.

Using the Control on Unit Memory Function / Sensors / Auto Detection
Humidity Sensor
The humidity sensor detects humidity of room air during operation.
Humidity levels should be taken as a guide only.
The indication may differ from hygrometer readings.
Humidity will change as temperature changes.
Humidity levels may differ between well-ventilated and poorly-ventilated places.
Auto Detection
The air purifier performs automatic operation by detecting room air contamination using the “Odor Sensor”
and “Dust Sensor”, and room air humidity using the “Humidity Sensor”.
During the first 3 minutes after the power cord is plugged in, the unit will check the air condition of the room and
save it in memory. During this time, the “Air Sensor” and “Humidity Level 50” indicators will blink. After 3 minutes,
both the “Air Sensor” and “Humidity Level 50” indicators will go off and the purifier will now be ready to operate.
You may start the operation within 3 minutes after the power cord is plugged in.
In this case too, the “Air Sensor” and “Humidity Level 50” indicators will continue to blink, meaning the
unit is checking room air condition. After 3 minutes have elapsed, the indicators will stop blinking.
If you plug in the power cord in an environment containing contaminated air, the sensitivity of the sensor may
be reduced. In such a case, perform the High or Max operation. Or open a window and plug the power cord into
the AC outlet when ambient air is clean. If the sensitivity of the sensor remains low after doing so, change the
sensor sensitivity setting.
Humidity Sensor
The dust sensor is capable of sensing dust in the air such as cigarette smoke, house
dust, pollen, etc.
The dust sensor may fail to sense dust stirred up when you lay out or put away bed-
ding, which contains significantly fewer contaminants than cigarette smoke, etc. In
such a case, the displayed air contamination level may appear to be lower.
Carry out periodical cleaning every 3-6 months. Otherwise the performance of the
dust sensor will drop.
